News from the Buyer

The Mad Lion Bloodline could be upgraded, so Zhao Feiyu was quite confident that his talent could eventually reach the black bloodline.

However, reaching the golden bloodline level of his older sister was practically impossible unless he encountered some extraordinary fortuitous encounter.

Over the past few centuries within his lineage, only a single person had successfully upgraded to the golden bloodline, while all other golden bloodlines were innate.

Therefore, the results Zhao Feiyu had achieved by this moment already made him immensely proud.

A flash of pleasant surprise appeared in Zhao Feiyu's eyes. "You really have improved quite a bit. The purple limit bloodline, coupled with Tier 2 martial artist strength, means the Martial Arts Grand Examination at the end of next month is securely in the bag. Barring any accidents, you can definitely get into Jingwu University."

A look of smugness showed on Zhao Feiyu's face. "This time, Grandpa shouldn't use me as a negative example to set up a standard during the internal family meetings."

"Don't talk nonsense; Grandpa still has very high expectations for you," Zhao Feiyu hastily said.

Just at that moment, the wooden door of the study upstairs opened, and Zhao Tianlong walked out.

Catching sight of Zhao Feiyu's boisterous behavior, his brows twitched slightly, and his tone carried a hint of sternness. "How old are you, and you're still acting like a kid?"

Zhao Feiyu instantly looked like a rooster whose neck had been pinched, pulling back his movements, though he still couldn't help muttering softly, "I was just sharing my practical training results with Sis..."

Zhao Tianlong ignored his defense, his gaze landing upon him before his pupils instantly contracted slightly.

The trace of displeasure from moments before vanished in an instant, replaced by barely concealable joy. "You've broken through to Tier 2? And your bloodline purity has also reached the purple limit?"

He clearly perceived that the elemental power within his son's body had not only reached Tier 2, but the Mad Lion Bloodline was also approaching the purple limit—a whole year faster than he had anticipated!

"Of course!" Zhao Feiyu regained his vigor in an instant, just about to continue bragging when he saw his father's tone shift abruptly. "Chu Han helped you out quite a bit, didn't he?"

The smile on Zhao Feiyu's face stiffened, his gaze turning guarded in a flash, and he spoke with extreme displeasure, "Dad, did you send someone to tail me? I've already told you I can take care of myself!"

Zhao Tianlong sat down on the sofa and said indifferently, "I didn't have anyone tail you. Today Chu Han went to the Martial Artist Association to redeem the bounty for the Night Owl Squad, and that was how I found out the two of you went to the wilderness together."

Even though he had acquired this information before Zhao Feiyu headed out to the wilds, he had no intention of exposing it to his son.

"What's wrong with Chu Han? Why are you checking up on him?" Zhao Feiyu blurted out anxiously.

"He's fine, except that he completely wiped out the Night Owl Squad, which caused quite a sensation. The higher-ups of the association are paying close attention to him and want to groom him as a key genius of River City, but they don't quite understand his situation yet."

Zhao Feiyu in the screen asked in surprise, "Wiped out the Night Owl Squad? What kind of person is this Chu Han to make all of you take him so seriously?"

"Sis, you have no idea! Brother Han is amazing!"

Seeing that his older sister was also interested, Zhao Feiyu immediately perked up and said, "His potential value is even higher than yours! It's just that he hadn't awakened a talent. Previously, when he studied at Third High School, he suffered unfair treatment, so he directly quit the school and even dueled a teacher, knocking the guy flat with a single punch!"

"Oh? His potential value actually surpassed mine?"

Zhao Feiyu instantly developed a bit more interest in Chu Han.

"And there's even more impressive stuff!"

Zhao Feiyu continued, embellishing all of Chu Han's exploits as he recounted them.

"Not only did he kill a Tier 3 Black Mane Lion without injury, but he also managed to forcibly absorb the Lion Blood Potion and cultivate successfully without having the Mad Lion Bloodline or practicing the Mad Lion Art!"

"Then there's Night Owl; that guy was a Tier 4 martial artist. Brother Han first sat on the mountain to watch the tigers fight, letting the Night Owl Squad and the Black Mane Lion King risk their lives against each other, before finally appearing to kill Night Owl and bring back the corpse of that Tier 4 Black Mane Lion King."

Zhao Feiyu gesticulated wildly, his eyes brimming with adoration, as if he were the one who had accomplished all those deeds.

The living room was quiet, with only Zhao Feiyu's voice echoing within it.

The hand with which Zhao Tianlong held his teacup froze mid-air. His expression gradually shifted from initial calmness to solemnity, finally transforming into shock.

To absorb a Lion Blood Potion without bloodline assistance, kill a Tier 3 fierce beast without injury, and even slay a Tier 4 Night Owl—was this even a genius? This was simply a monstrous anomaly!

Zhao Feiyu in the screen was likewise deeply shocked. "Absorbing a Lion Blood Potion without bloodline assistance—his physical strength and willpower are simply not human! Dad, this Chu Han is worthy of focused cultivation!"

Zhao Tianlong put down his teacup, nodded, and the look he cast at Zhao Feiyu held a bit more gratification. "Being able to forge a friendship with Chu Han is a good thing. He is indeed a rare genius, and the association will properly nurture him."

"That's great!" Zhao Feiyu laughed.

At this moment, however, Zhao Tianlong spoke with a slightly solemn tone, "Feiyu, you are now a Tier 2 martial artist with a purple-limit bloodline talent—which is indeed very good—but you mustn't become complacent. You need to learn more from Chu Han."

"Dad, I know, but please don't compare me to Chu Han. When we were in the wilderness, I discovered that Chu Han is an absolute freak; I'll never be able to catch up to him," Zhao Feiyu said somewhat discontentedly.

Hearing this, Zhao Tianlong smiled and said, "Aside from Chu Han, there are other geniuses in River City. Furthermore, outside of River City, there are many geniuses who are no less impressive than Chu Han. You'll get to see one tomorrow."

"Who is it?" Zhao Feiyu asked curiously.

"Your cousin, Lin Baiwei. She awakened her talent this year as well."

"Lin Baiwei? Is cousin coming to River City tomorrow?"

Zhao Feiyu was stunned. This cousin of his was half a year younger than him and was indeed taking the college entrance examination this year as well.

"What talent did she awaken? Could it be even stronger than my purple-limit Mad Lion Bloodline?"

Zhao Tianlong said word by word, "S-Class talent, Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts!"

"S-Class?!"

Zhao Feiyu's eyes bulged, his mouth gaping wide enough to fit a fist.

An S-Class talent!

Take River City, for instance—over several decades, it had only produced a single S-Class talent martial artist like Zhao Feiyu.

And Zhao Feiyu's S-Class status counted toward River City only because his father was stationed here, which was why she studied here as well.

In reality, their Zhao Family was a super-massive lineage with its headquarters in the Capital City.

Even for Jingwu University, the number of S-Class talent students they recruited every year was limited!

Zhao Feiyu instantly felt a sense of disparity, his previous pride and complacency vanishing in an instant. "S-Class... that's indeed much more formidable than me."

Beside him within the virtual screen, Zhao Feiyu also wore an expression of astonishment. "An S-Class beast taming type talent? This is a rare type indeed, even scarcer than my golden Mad Lion Bloodline. Little Baiwei hides things deeply; I had no idea about this even in the Capital City."

"A beast taming type talent? That's right, Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts! It really is a beast taming type talent!"

At this moment, Zhao Feiyu suddenly burst into great joy, letting out a peal of laughter.

"Terrific! It actually turns out to be a beast taming type talent!"

Instantly, Zhao Tianlong and Zhao Feiyu both frowned as they looked at him, with Zhao Tianlong even asking, "What are you laughing at? Is an S-Class talent something worth getting this excited over?"

Zhao Feiyu stopped laughing, then put on an unfathomable expression and said, "When Baiwei arrives tomorrow, you'll see. I guarantee it'll be a huge surprise!"

He intentionally withheld some suspense while simultaneously feeling a weight lift from his heart.

He had been fretting over how to help Chu Han find a buyer for the Black Mane Lion cub, and now the buyer was delivering herself right to his doorstep.

His cousin Lin Baiwei's S-Class beast taming talent was simply tailor-made for this cub!

By then, not only would the cub find a good master, but Chu Han could also sell it for a handsome sum, and he himself would have rendered great assistance—just thinking about it made him feel happy.

Chances were his cousin would even have to thank him by then.

Seeing that his son refused to spill the details, Zhao Tianlong didn't press further, instead instructing him, "Coming along with Baiwei tomorrow is also a major figure. You need to be steady tomorrow and not be so flippant."

"Got it!" Zhao Feiyu acknowledged.

At that moment, however, Zhao Feiyu complained discontentedly, "Has this brat grown wings now? You even dare keep secrets from me?"

Seeing his older sister flare up, Zhao Feiyu hastily said, "Sis, I'll tell you secretly in a bit, but you mustn't tell anyone else."

"That's more like it. I have a cultivation task, so I'm hanging up first."

After the communication cut off, Zhao Feiyu immediately sent a message to Chu Han: Brother Han, the buyer for the cub has some leads. It's definitely a huge surprise, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied!
